Moving Recommendations "Red State"
Our family is seriously considering leaving NM to live somewhere that shares our same constitutional values. I have a state job here but seeing where we are headed with vaccine mandates which we will not be getting and pre determined future elections. Thinking shortly it will be time to scoot before we have roadblocks on our state borders. Oklahoma is on my mind. Thinking somewhere less humid with fair duck hunting. Does anyone have any recommendations?

I dream of Texas or Nebraska.

We stopped in Gallup to pick up a few things from Walmart last march. I couldn't believe the level of fear I sensed there. It was like a movie.
We are as red as it gets, but we have humidity. We also have mountains, streams and lakes and we are in the middle of everything. Housing is a little hard to find here, because you aren't the first one to leave a blue area. We are halfway to everything. |

In OK, for waterfowl hunting, somewhere around the Salt Plains Wildlife Refuge. Humidity tends to run from low in the NW to high in the SE. Land for sale signs have returned. They all vanished shortly after Covid advanced to the pandemic status. Not sure about prices. Got my rural spot a couple years before covid. 40 acres about 2 miles north of me was listed on CL for $500,000 including the house. That was a lot higher per acre then what I paid. Listing vanished about 2 weeks later.
Depending on your age, the lifetime hunting/fishing licenses can be a bargain. Big advantage is you don't have to worry about the various state tags for deer, turkey and birds. |

Texas...outside of the major cities is always a good bet. Great waterfowl in North and east Texas. Jobs to be had all over the state...housing has been ticking up but, still a deal compared to most of the country. And NO STATE INCOME TAX.

I’m not sure what the humidity is in Nebraska or the Dakotas but if you can’t stand humidity then mid south and south East are out for you. Missouri isn’t bad and lots of great places across the state.

Re: Moving Recommendations "Red State"
I always thought that Arizona, New Mexico and west Texas were some of the less humid and dry areas of the United States. Not so? Indiana is pretty red, but our weather is very humid. During spring/summer we occasionally have some non humid weather and I always wish we had this weather all of the time.

Yes Nebraska is red, but! Taxes are high, humidity is high except for the far west, winters are cold and windy. Waterfowl hunting is a big deal here, pay to play unless you know someone. Plenty of jobs here.

Re: Moving Recommendations "Red State"
Based on conversations on newagtalk.com, Nebraska is the state everyone wants to get out of. The land taxes are through the roof, which really changes the farming dynamic. This might not matter as much on a small acreage.

We have 4 seasons and like a lot of states fun places to camp and sight see Our home is 3 times more value that when we came in Nov 2012 ..Our state tax is .06 % ..And homes are going up like weeds.. , People are selling out in California and Oregon where the most come from and living in their travel trailers for months waiting for a house to out bid the other guy to get ,,or a new one built. This year we had many days over 100 degrees .. first year like that since we came ,,we hope for a good snow this year... Our streets are overwhelmed with traffic and lots of fender bending going on.. the city has built quite a few round a bouts to move the traffic along .. We still like it here and not moving .. being retired allows us to get on the streets when there are not so much traffic |
Re: Moving Recommendations "Red State"
I would look into the states with no controversy and where everyone gets along well.

Where does this level of paranoia come from? All the states I have visited are fine. I have neighbors on both sides of the political fence. We all watch out for each other. |

Re: Moving Recommendations "Red State"
One final thought on this subject. Wherever you end up remember why you left where you were and why you moved there. Seems way too many bring the poor ideals with them and in a short few years they have also imported all the bad ideas that ruined the last place they lived. Groupthink and reliance on government are not what makes red states appealing.
